SUMMARY:Canadian Individual Poetry Slam Finals
DESCRIPTION:The top 12 poets from prelims advance to this bout. Who will claim the title of 2016 Canadian Individual Poetry Slam Champion? This closing match includes a feature presentation by the one and only Sheri-D Wilson. \nPoets in the Finals will be performing three-minute poems. The first round will consist of twelve poets.
